Ethereum and Base split on account abstraction standards
- —Ethereum is pushing EIP-8141 Frame Transactions with flexible gas payment in code
- —Base is betting on EIP-8130 with on-chain Keystore and predictable costs for nodes
- —EIP-8141 received must-ship status for the Hegotá hard fork
- —Compatibility will be maintained through ERC-4337, but the burden will fall on smart wallets
Why it matters: Fragmentation of standards will force wallets to support two transaction formats, slowing the adoption of native account abstraction.
